LearningExpress is a resource of which I was completely unaware, and I look forward to suggesting it to patrons looking for study guides for the ASVAB, AP exams, etc. These books seem to be ones that are too often borrowed and never returned at our library, so it will be good to have an alternative resource to suggest. I'm thinking, too, that accessing this information online might be more appealing to some younger patrons than borrowing a book.
I took part of a practice SAT writing exam, and having the little timer lent the experience some realism. The ability to view and read an explanation of the correct answers was helpful. I also reviewed a business writing/grammar skills course. The instruction was very clear, and the low-key tone ("You can stop at any time and take a break ...") would appeal to patrons who might be a bit anxious about polishing skills. A course on resume writing also seemed very clear and practical. Finally, from among many options, I downloaded a book of practice math questions. It was a snap.
